Summertime is winding down and honestly, it’s always bittersweet for me. Although I’m not a huge fan of triple-digit heat, I adore the light nights and escaping to the beach often. Since we’ve moved to Ventura County, Mabel and I are commonly doing three-mile treks […]
Are you ready to think INSIDE of the box? Since 2015, fast-casual darling, Sweetfin, has been all about thinking OUTSIDE of the box. Well, get ready to re-think things a bit and enjoy their newest (and delicious) item, Sweetbox. I remember the very first time […]
Did you know it’s hatch pepper season? These irresistible spicy hots are native to New Mexico and available just six weeks out of the year. I was first introduced to hatch peppers during my adventures with the 2019 IFWTWA Conference. On my ten-day venture, I fell in love […]

As travel begins to resume, you can bet that I’m itching to get back out into the world. Although Mabel is just four months, I’m proud that her first-weekend getaway is in the books. As eager as I am to sport her to more places, […]
How is it already May? It’s been a beautiful Spring and I’ll celebrate my first Mother’s Day this week. As I head into my fourth month of motherhood, something on my mind is losing the stubborn baby weight. I’m 30 pounds down from when I […]
